This stuff is really mostly mint and was used on a daily basis. Sorry can't take a photo yet. Remember, I bought this from a friend, so I didn't want to steal this stuff. He bought most of it in Germany when he was in the Army.


:thumbsdn: :thmbsp: what do you think?

Sounds like an incredible stack of gear..Now, the real qustion is how much did you pay for it all?

 

[godawgs]

I know this isn't a steal or thrift store find that some of you may have had, but...


I gave my friend $1350 for all of it.:thumbsdn::thmbsp:?

 

[marantzfan]

Very good work. You would definately make money if you ever decided to sell..:thmbsp:

 

[pioneervato]

Nice score and worth every penny I'm sure.

 

[godawgs]

I may get rid of some of the gear , but not yet. This is for a third system,(no I'm not rich), so I'll keep it pretty simple.

TX-608 tuner 9/10 this is a black dial TX-6500 I've read

I'm pretty sure the TX-608 is a TX-6800 with a black dial. I own two.
I also have an RG-2; I run a tuner through it, to expand out compressed radio signals. Plus, it matches my flouroscan amps.

 

[godawgs]

Stand corrected, you are right about the TX-6800 and the TX-608, same thing except black face.

Do you have your tuner hooked up to your pre, then the tuner? How does it sound?

 

[SA-708]

I have my tuner out connected to the input of my RG-2, and the output from the RG-2 connected to the tuner input on my integrated amp. I use it this way because I only use the RG-2 dynamic expander with my tuner (several local stations use a compressed signal).

The RG-2 and SG-2 could also be hooked up to one of the tape input/output pairs on the amp, so you could engage them when you wanted to use them, or cut them out of the audio path when you didn't.

[edit]: You should go over to the Pioneer Manual Scan Database and get the owner's manuals and such for all your new Pioneer equipment. They'll do a better job of explaining what everthing does, what all the options in connecting things up, and what all the controls are for, than I can.
